Bioinformatics
Effective Fall 2006
The Bioinformatics Track can be used to satisfy the track requirements of the CIS Major. Some of the courses can also be the foundation for a minor in Biology. If you are interested in the Biology minor, you should consult with an advisor in the Biology department to determine how to finish the minor requirements.
